The mother of the victim, Mrs Deborah Okezie, had revealed that some senior students at the school had sexually molested her son, Don Davis, by pushing their hands and legs into his anus and threatened to kill him if he reported to anyone.

Mrs Deborah, in a follow-up video, also accused the school management of bullying her into deleting the first video she had posted online and trying to sweep the matter under the carpet.
Howevers, speaking in a video statement released on Tuesday evening, the Education Secretary of the school, Mrs Thelma Malaka, said the matter was being investigated and justice would be served when all findings have been finalized.
“Permit me to remind you that the Office of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State has taken over the investigation of the matter to ensure neutrality and a dispassionate outcome.
“Recall that we had earlier suspended the principal of the affected campus and initiated an investigation into the matter. We decided to restrain ourselves from further comments after the first update because we thought it is sub judice to comment on a matter currently under investigation.
“However, considering the potential impact of this issue, especially on what we stand for, we are compelled to provide an earlier update before the final report by the government.
“The panel has sat and we have presented staff members and students of our school who have been mentioned in this particular case all through the period of the investigation.
“Deeper Life High School stands on the core value of integrity and uprightness and will not attempt to cover up any immoral act under any guise.

“We enjoin the public to be on the lookout for the final report as will be released by the appropriate authority soon. We believe that the government will share the final report once the investigation is completed,” Malaka said.
